what are some of your opinions on the best carbon hoods out there? taking all into consideration, weight, strength, looks, price, smooth edges, rough edges, glossey or dull, just want lots of opinions.

 

VIS, IMO. Only a couple lbs heavier than the lightest hoods, strong, clearcoated, rolled edges, great fitment and cheap. VIS is the way to go.

Theres a ton of threads on this using the search function as well.

 

fiber images one of the nicest looking not to mention the strongest out there. check this video out then you tell me... http://www.mmrusa.com/jump.mpg
id say that these are pretty strong wouldnt you???

 

Fiberimages is hit or miss. Either you get a real good one, or one that fits horribly. Its a risk, and unless you want to pay top dollar and get one at a shop locally that they can guarantee a good-fitting hood, youre better off going with a VIS.

 

Spoon but very $$$
